Free Music Notes for Hejira
Free Music Review: AMAZING
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of Joni's BEST Recordings because she really opened herself up in order to heal. Any recording she did with Jaco Pastorious is worth having in your music library. When the two collaberated it was pure magic, Joni brought out the best in Jaco and vice versa. One of the best songs on this selection is Song for Sharon. Some other notable songs are Cayote, Amelia and Black Cow. Joni's magical and soothing voice and Jaco's fluid and melodic playing embrace each other well. Do yourself a favor don't leave this page without ordering this selection and when your done here order Shadows and Light a Live recording from Santa Barbara, CA. Definately one of the best LIVE recordings of all time.Free Music Review: Singing to the choir

Well- as if Joni needs another positive review! I can't help myself. I'm a classical musician with eclectic tastes, and this may well be one of the top three albums I've heard by anyone, in any genre, in my lifetime! The unbroken honesty, sincerity, melody, poetry, musicianship (Jaco Pastorius on fretless bass), the songs, the voice, it's all perfect. And, if you want to understand what it might be like to be a woman, you need to listen to this album. The great thing about Joni is, on most albums, she's innocent and unaware of how great her stuff is! And that's the necessary ingredient to a truly transcendental offering, in any art form. Just be yourself. The love will come! And it has.Free Music Review: the best joni

Of all her albums, this is my favorite. In my opinion, this is where it ALL comes together. Joni's voice has matured. Her guitar work, always unique with her experimental tunings, has become splendid. Her poetry has become so breathtakingly intimate, with imagery so concrete, that she transports you to other worlds. These things alone would make this an extraordinary album, but here Joni has surrounded herself with so many other outstanding musicians (can anyone say Jaco?) that this becomes one timeless musical feast for the ears as well. I've been a Joni fan for a long time and I've loved several of her albums, but for me, I'll take this one over all of them. No contest.Free Music Review: Gorgeous and ethereal

I have all of Joni's albums and this is my favorite. It's a challenging album -- not recommended as a first purchase of her work ("Blue" or "Court And Spark" are more accessible), because at first all the songs sound the same. But that's the point -- the record is more about lyrics and rhythm than it is about melody. It's an album of songs about travel and life on the road, and has a distinctive smoky feel that gets better every time I hear it. Listen to "Amelia" and it'll transport you. I think that with Hejira, Joni Mitchell was at the peak of her form -- she never made a record as personal, or as perfect, as this again.Free Music Review: Joni Does Keroac, Only Better!

This CD is the best road trip of all time. It has the aural beauty of being in the woods at sunup or driving on a long highway at two in the morning or waking in an unknown motel room, just east of Kansas. These songs are about flight. They are about the choices we make concerning who we are, where we are and who it is that travels by our side. Listening to these songs is the equivalent of sitting at the edge of the stage when Yeats gave his heart and poems to the Irish. There is not one missplaced word or thought or sound here. It is the artist opening the window all the way---not just a peek---into her heart, her mind and most importantly, her soul.
